The Danish Vermeer August 8, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The catalogue for the first retrospective ever held in Britain on Hammershoi (at the Royal Academy in London), this book gives a fair idea of the mastery of light that the "Danish Vermeer" was able to infuse his paintings with.
The text is divided into three chapters, the first following the painter's career chronologically, the second setting his art in the context of a "golden age" of Danish painting in the second half of the XIXth century, and the third (and most interesting) studying the links and differences of Hammershoi's interior paintings with XVIIth century Dutch interior paintings.
On the whole a valuable publication - if only because it is the only one available in English on the artist - but which suffers from the poor quality of the reproductions.
